Competitive Battling

Flygon finds itself in the Rarelyused (RU) tier of competitive battling as one of the tier's best Pokémon. Thanks to its typing, movepool, and stat distribution, Flygon is a versatile Pokémon capable of fitting in on numerous playstyles. Its solid Attack and Speed stats alongside a great offensive typing and U-turn to pivot out allows for it to run Choice sets very effectively. Flygon has some high-powered STAB attacks in Outrage and Earthquake that give it a very nice offensive presence against a number of the tier's most notable threats. Flygon is not hindered by entry hazards at all, as it is resistant to Stealth Rock and avoids being affected by other entry hazards due to Levitate. With Roost, a solid defensive typing, and Defog, Flygon makes for a good support Pokémon as well and can act as one of the tier's most reliable entry hazard removers. Flygon's best set is a Choice Band set that gives it as much of a power boost as possible and can act as a solid pivot to wear down opposing walls that may come in. Its Defog support set is also a very good option as it gives a great amount of utility for teams and can check some threats with some investment in its bulk. Lastly, Flygon is an adept Choice Scarf user that can be a fast pivot and revenge killer. While Flygon does not have many flaws, it is not a perfect Pokémon in RU. Flygon can be rather underwhelming offensively and defensively at times due to no one stat standing out among the rest. Some common physically bulky Water and Grass-types, like Alomomola and Venusaur, can come in and giving Flygon quite a bit of trouble. Flygon's Speed, while good, does put it behind a few threats like Delphox, Jolteon, Sneasel, and Virizion, all of which can outspeed and threaten it if Flygon does not have a Choice Scarf equipped. Flygon's typing gives it a brutal weakness to Ice, which leaves it vulnerable to being easily taken out by the likes of Sneasel, Mega Glalie, and Abomasnow.

Flygon is also usable in the Uber tier of competitive battling. With a great typing and ability in Levitate, Flygon acts as a solid check to threats like Primal Groudon, Tyranitar, and Ground Arceus. Flygon's access to Defog is greatly valued especially considering its good matchup against Primal Groudon, a common Stealth Rock setter. With Toxic and Roost, Flygon can outstall specific threats, while its immunity to Spikes and Toxic Spikes and resistance to Stealth Rock prevent it from being worn down easily by entry hazards. The flaws in Flygon are that it has major susceptibility to burn and poison, that it is passive in nature due to having to invest heavily in physical defense to be viable, and that it faces competition as a Defog user from Arceus forms.

Flygon whips up a sandstorm by flapping its wings. The wings create a series of notes that sound like singing. Because the "singing" is the only thing that can be heard in a sandstorm, this Pokémon is said to be the desert spirit.
